Don’t he too Fine.
Dr. T. Davids nt. in his new book for
| young men, "Forewarned, forearmed,’’
i hits out nt the "tine young man” in this
i style “He admires a scarf or a breast
i pin, and, as he must have it, he purehas
i es on credit, mid, ten to one, before he
j lias money to pay, the one is threadbare
j or the other is lost, ami so lie grudges
I pay uient, and is tempted to evade it.
Thus the mischief grow s. Don’t seek to
be too tine. Be manly enough to appear
just as you are. Be content to begin life
at the beginning, and to await, as others
I have done liefore you, till your income
! warrants this or tliat unnecessary indul
gctiee. It i< an awkward looking ar
rangvniei.t when a youth begins with the

I the small end.”
Hon Children Growl
A remarkable physiological discovery
has bo n made by 11 v M illing Il ins, n.
prineipid of the Danish institution for the
Deaf and Dumb. During a period of
three years, he has made frequent careful
uicasiiremeiits and weighings of the 130
children under hi< charge, and has
reached the conclusion tliat the body
j does not increase evenly in bulk aud
height throughout th- year, but that dur
ing some month* th, , hild accumulates
bulk and remains stationary in height,
, while at another time there i<growth in
. stature with eomparuHveiy little increase
in vei.-ht. The-i n-sults an- confirmed
by similar exjx-riim nts in several smaller
• institutions in Denmark.

When a batch of bread was made in

Gettim: Money.
A story is told about one of Nashville's
bankers. The perpetrator of the joke
was once active in financial matters. Ho
is not as wealthy, however, as he used to
be, and finding himself in immediate
need of some cash the other day, he
walked into his former banker's oflice.
After declining an invitation to be seat
ed, he said: "You remember in former
times my pa|s r was worth par. I could
raise any amount needed by the simple
process of affixing my name to a note.
You were kind and courteous to me then.
It was good morning, Mr. . But
times have changed. lam hard up now,
but I have a scheme on foot by which I j
can retrieve my lost fortune if I
can raise the requisite amount. The in- !
vestment is safe, there being no risk
whatever. I want you to let me have
SIO,OOO.
The banker looked steadily out of the
window for n few minutes, rubbed his
hands, and said he was really sorry, but
it would be impossible to let the gentle
man have the sum mentioned.
The would-be borrower, not the least
abashed by the refusal, said: "Weill
might make out with .$5,000 for the pre -
ent.” The banker again declined to ad
vance the eash. explaining that money
matters were stringent. The visitor
turned to go, and, with a shrug of the
shoulders, said: “Well that's the wav
of the world. If I had come and asked
for the loan of $lO you would have re
fused.”
"No, you are mistaken. I would have
let you have it.”
"Well, lend n>c that amount, if you
feel like it.”
W ith an "I am-sold" smile the banker
produced his plethoric purse, fished out
a $lO bill and handed it over. \ rilU

survivors of shipwrecks may obtain
steam, und consequently fresh water,
from sea w ater without the aid of fire.
Prof. L. Weber mentions a stroke of

through the aperatnre upward to the

bucki-tsful of water were afterward taken

Emanuel Cortez, the distinguished
Parisian microscopist, who has been ex

of the mollusk.
Prof. N. S. Shuler is authority for the
statement tliat 50,000 square miles of
territory east of the Mississippi are cov

Louise Michel’s memoirs tell some
queer stories about her amateur scientific
performances when in exile at New Cale
donia. Among other ideas she had one
for vaccinating plants that were attacked

with the sap of four other plants of the
same kind afflicted with jaundice, and
saved them.
The great rainfall in New England in
F bruary is declared by meteorologists
who have- studied it to have been un
precedented since records began to be
kept. The total amount of water which
felt from the clouds, chiefly during twen
ty-four hours, is computed to have
amounted to 750,000,000,000 gallons.
The fall was greatest between New Lon

Meteorologists have found that thete
can be no thunder and lightning without
rain. When thunder is heard beneath
a clear sky, the reports must either come
from distant clouds or be the result of
some other cause than a discharge of elec
tricity. Harvest or heat lightning is pro
duced by a distant storm. Thunder seldom
accompanies heat lightning, the sound
reaching only about twelve miles, whle
lightning is often seen, by reflection
upon nearer clouds, at a much greater
distance.
In Search of a Lost Leg.
The other day, says the National Trib
une, Congressmen Lovering, cf Massa
chusetts, and O'Ferrall of Virginia, were
chatting together, when the former said:
"I hear them call you ‘Colonel,’ and I
presume you were in what we used to
call the ‘rebel’ army?”
“Yes,” replied O’Ferrall; “I was there,
nlong with the rest of the boys. And, by
the way, as everybody seems to address
yon as ‘Major,’ knowing you to be from
Massachusetts, I take it you were in the
‘Yankee’ army.”
I ‘‘Right'.” said Lovering.
“To wliat arm of the service did yoc
| belong?’,
“Cavalry.”
“So did I,” said the Virginia Colonel.
“Were you ever in the Shenandoah Val
ley?”
“I was there with Sheridan," replied
the Major, ‘‘and I left one of my legs at
Opequan. I’ve missed it a good deal,
too, these past twenty years."
“1 was at Opequan,” said Colonel
O'Ferrall, “and my regiment was in the
thickest of the fight w ith your cavalry.”
“You're just the man I’ve been look
ing for.” said Major Lovering. "I want
you to go over that battlefield with me
some time, and help me find my leg. I
would like to take up what's left of it
and bury it on the soil of Massachusetts.
When the doctors sawed it off I had
them plant it and mark the spot with a
board, suitably inscribed. It i. likely
that this disappeared long ago, but 1
would like to go and see, anyway. Now,
if you will join me some day, we’ll take
a riile over tliat field and hunt for it.”
Colonel O’Ferrall, who lives in the val
ley, assured him that he would be de
lighted to see him there, and extended
to him a cordial invitation to visit him.
It was accepted, and this summer there
will be a search for the sepulcher of that

An Idaho Judge’s Charge.
In the course of his charge to the jury
in a murder case an Idaho judge said:
“In making your decision, gentlemen,
please bear in mind that the deceased
was reaching for his hip pocket when th*
prisoner blazed away at him. The terri
' torial statues, you understand, gentle
men, allow one man, w hen he sees an
other make this motion, to produce his
gun and In gin the bombardment. To b<
sure it has been proved tliat the deceased
was reaching for his handkerchief but
that makes no difference, the law doe;
not recognize any such movements. The
very fact that he was carrying a pocket
handkerchief while in Idaho -hows that
he was an unfit member for cur territorial
society. Please carefully weigh all of
these important facts before bringing in
your verdict." — Eitelline Beil.
FROM THITcALLERY.'
Looking Down Upon The
House of Representatives.
What an Habitua Csn See anl Infor
From the Scenes Below.
There are lots of things to lie seen
from the House galleries. Something is
always going on on the floor that is not a
part of the regular order. From a good
point in the gallery an observant person
can see much, and after awhile learns to
know the meaning of what he sees. It
is in this way that private conferences are
frequently discovered. The floor of the
House is such a big place, and the mem
bers get *o much at home there, that
many of them have no idea that their
movements are observed and their pur
poses guessed at. Some members, to be
sure, are always conscious of the eyes of
the gallery, and after saying or doing
something their glances, accompanied
with a smile, will rest for a moment upon
the place over the Speaker's head. But
these self-conscious men are not general
ly the one the gallery gods are watching.
It is the man who is unconscious of his
surroundings, and is acting naturally,
who calls for their attention. Many
little caucuses are hel I on tiie floor dur
ing the course of a day, and the habitue
of the gallery learns to know what they
are about by noticing who are engaged in
them and which ones are taking the lead.
Nearly every member has his pet hobby, j
in which other members are interested to .
a more or less extent, and in which he
would like to interest other members.
It is easy to tell what he's talking
about when he’s in earnest conference
with certain members. For instance, if
some suave member of the ways and
means committee were seen talking pur
suasively with Mr. Randall, while that
gentleman looked annoyed or had a hard,
stony, non-committal expression on his i
face, the habitue would know it was a
tariff discussion, and that “no agreement ;
had been reached thereon.” Great men
are always watched most closely and
their peculiarities arc best known. If a
man is seen to confer successively with
Messrs. Holman and Beach the habitue i
knows that he wants unanimous consent j
to take up a private bill, and if he in
cludes Mr. Reagan in his conference it is >
known that the bill is to give an increased
pension to some officer’s widow or to in
crease rank on the retired list. It is a
pretjy safe guess also that he isn’t going
to get it. There are little cliquesand
sets of m n all through the House who
are interested in a certain class of legisla- i
tion. The habitue knows them well,
and sitting a long way out of ear shot
can discover the meaning of their little
secret conferences. When state delega
tions hold caucuses they generally assem
ble in some quiet corner in the cloak- ,
room. Conferences between individual
members are more frequently held on the
floor, as they are supposed to attract no
attention.
But these are not all the habitue sees.
He sometimes sees a member making eyes
at some fair charmer in the private galle
ry. More frequently he sees him smok- i
ing on the floor in violation of the
•rules of the House. Sometimes
he sees a member sitting up in his chair
with his chin on h:s white shirt front
and his hands hanging loosely at his side,
fast asleep. The habitue then makes a
mental calculation of how many hours he
worked the night before. He makes the
same calculation concerning those who
are stretched out on the sofas. If he
knows the men he knows all about it.
But the most striking and picturesque
thing he sees is the solos of shoes. These
he sees on the desks in various parts of the
House. Behind them are members of
Congrees. He could tell you who they
are, but don’t like to, so he says their :
shoes hide their faces. Some of the
member put but one foot on their desk at
a time. Others put both up and sink
low down in their chairs while they
smoke. There is a man in the gallery
who is making a list of members who are
thus afflicted. He has nearly a dozen on
the list.
Some members are given to telling fun
ny stories to a select circle of friends, and
when the habitue sees a little knot of
members around one of these he knows
when to expect to see them laugh. It is
always easy to tell one of these assem
blages from a caucus, when there is a .
crowd about Reed, of Maine, it is known
that he is in good trim and is expressing
his views of passing events in his peculiar
characteristic way.
Some of the mcmliers have their little
bills upon which they rely to get back to
Congress. These are the men the causal
observer would take to be the workers of
House. The habitue knowns better, and
he knows, too, that they are frequently
the butts of the House and are the targets
for transient wit. One of th?se came up
to Robertson, of Kentucky, the other
day ami asked him to vote fora little bill
which was to secure his re-election.
"How much money do*s it take from
the treasury?” asked the red-bearded
Kentuckian.
"About five million,” was the replv.
Don’t you think.” sail Robertson,
looking him from head to foot, “don't
you think that's a pretty big price for
the government to pay for your services?”
